Preeclampsia is a disease that is strongly linked with the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. This is a condition with greater prevalence in the Low and middle income countries of the world especially sub-Saharan Africa, where the morbidity and mortality is reportedly higher. Larger
Cardiovascular thrombotic conditions were estimated to account for 1 in 4 deaths worldwide in 2010 and are the leading cause of global mortality. Divided into arterial and venous thromboses, ischaemic heart disease and ischemic stroke comprise the major arterial thromboses and deep-vein thrombosis
Ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Immediate treatment can play a major role in the outcome of ischemic stroke and can help improve prognosis in many cases. One of the factors effecting immediate treatment is a
In Taiwan, there are 220,00 stroke survivors and each year, 10,000 new suffers causing impairment in daily activities. This is the leading cause of disability and consumes 4.5 billions of National Health Insurance yearly. More than half of them become hemi-paretics and hemi-plegics. Stroke leads to
Background: Laboratory biomarkers of atherosclerosis can be valuable in decision about operative treatment in patients with mild to severe atherosclerotic carotid stenosis (ACAS) and high stroke risk. However nowadays there are no established instruments for personalized atherothrombotic stroke
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Despite improved cataract surgery instrumentation and techniques, the incidence of clinical CME remains 1 - 3% following uncomplicated PE/PCIOL. CME remains the most common cause of suboptimal post-operative visual acuity (VA) after uncomplicated PE/PCIOL. 1%
The ocular surface is the first line of defense of the eye, it is therefore where external threats are sensed, and potential insults neutralised. Over the course of evolution, various microbes, especially bacteriae, have come to colonise the ocular surface as commensals. The commensals have a role
The study described in this report will be approved by the ethics committee of Yonsei University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea. Between July 2012 and February 2013, 380 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 380 of whom were included in the final analysis. Consecutive patients were recruited
Atherosclerosis is the most common cardiovascular disease and accounts for the greatest number of deaths. Atherosclerotic disease starts at an early age and follows a subclinical course for decades, becoming apparent in the fifth or sixth decades of life in men and approximately 10 years later in
Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD).[1] Epidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated that aggressive lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with or without CHD.[1-3]
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in North America (1). Uncontrolled platelet activation, adhesion and aggregation initiated by vessel wall plaque rupture are thought to be responsible for acute vascular occlusion in many situations (2-5). Although many platelet inhibition
The stroke or brain attack is one of the main health problems in developed countries. It is the third cause for death and the main cause of disability in adults. Cerebral infarction makes up 80 % of all the types of strokes.
After a stroke, different evolutions and outcomes can be observed, and
The Brain Physiology and Metabolism Section (BPMS) of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the Clinical Neuroscience Program (CNP) of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) propose to study regional brain phospholipid metabolism in young and old normal volunteers
